A new intervertebral disc nucleus replacement device having three major features has been designed, comprising: 1) a peripheral textile band, 2) a silicone membrane filled with silicone that cures in situ forming an elastomeric implant and 3) an internal chamber that allows for deformation of the cured component (Figure 1). Samples of this device were subjected to biomechanical ...

Abstract Background Impaired neuromuscular control and degeneration of the multifidus muscle have been linked to the development of refractory chronic low back pain (CLBP). An implantable restorative-neurostimulator system can override the underlying multifidus inhibition by eliciting episodic, isolated contractions. ...
INTRODUCTION The goal of the implant surgeon is to place the implant in the ideal position, to support the prosthesis for the best long term prognosis, while managing important anatomical landmarks. ...
For patients who are at high risk of SCA (such as post-heart attack patients with low heart functionality), the ‘gold standard’ of care is the use of an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD). ...
